Thanks to trails blazed by folks like The Weeknd and James Blake, we've been able to witness the onslaught of electronic R&B (or label it how you will) which in turn has created huge entry points for artists like the falsetto singer/producer Tom Krell (a.k.a. How To Dress Well) and Canadian producer Jacques Greene. "On Your Side" features what each does best: Krell employs the upper registers of his vocal range while Greene provides a pulsating backbone upon which Krell's lyricism undulates frenetically. The match is lethal.

While this version of "On Your Side” is the radio edit, released today by Zane Lowe on BBC Radio One, the album edit serves as the title track of Greene's upcoming EP, available on June 3 via Lucky Me. Download the track now by pre-ordering the EP here.
